Chicago Mayor Ram Immanuel is implementing a pilot program has become a huge

fad in liberal cities. The program will hand out $1,000 in checks, $1,000 checks,

to select in Chicago recipients every month. No strings attached.

The handout is called Universal Basic Income. UBI. It's supposed to break the cycle of poverty.

Chicago will pay for the new welfare handouts with city funds. In other words, UBI money is coming

from unsuspecting taxpayers. According to news reports, cash will also come from philanthropic

dollars. Translation Chicago's UBI is getting in on the liberal nonprofit gravy train. Big money

from the big far left activist organizations. Now this scam, sorry, social welfare experiment,

has been tried before. January 2017 Finland adopted a Universal Basic Income program. But after two

years of not breaking the cycle of poverty, it was shut down. Finland admitted it failed.

And that's what Chicago's hair brand UBI plan is destined to do. It'll also fail. Because socialism

never works. No matter what you call it, no matter how you disguise it, no matter how you try it,

it blows up on you.
